Hotel Information

The 2008 National Youth Gang Symposium will be held at:

Hilton Atlanta
255 Courtland Street, NE
Atlanta, Georgia 30303
(404) 659-2000

Hotel rooms are NO LONGER AVAILABLE at the Hilton Atlanta. Hotel accommodations in downtown Atlanta can be expensive. Travelers who have not made arrangements to stay at the Symposium hotel should look for hotels with proximity to the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA), Atlanta’s citywide train system, since they can easily commute between these hotels and the event within just a few minutes.

Here are some alternate lodging recommendations where the federal rate ($129, plus tax) may still be offered:

Atlanta Marriott Downtown—Across the street from the Symposium hotel

Renaissance Atlanta Hotel Downtown—One stop away on the MARTA Transit System

Residence Inn Atlanta Downtown—One stop away on the MARTA Transit System

Atlanta Marriott Suites Midtown—One stop away on the MARTA Transit System

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport serves the Atlanta area. Ground transportation is available via taxicab or the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) citywide train system. MARTA fare is approximately $1.75 each way.

The workshop and plenary sessions will be exciting, challenging, and filled with cutting-edge information that can be used immediately in your community.

Directions from Hartsfield International Airport (Atlanta) to the Hilton Atlanta via the MARTA Public Transit System:

Take the train north on the North Springs/Doraville Line and exit at Peachtree Center Station. Take the Harris Street escalator or follow the directions for Peachtree Center Mall. You will go up a very steep escalator into the mall. Take the walkway from the mall to the parking garage and Peachtree Center Athletic Club. Take the elevator down to the street level. The hotel is on your right when you exit the garage.
